Fed decides whether to hold rates between 3.75% and 4% at its penultimate meeting of the year
The Federal Reserve holds this Wednesday its penultimate meeting of the year, at which it will decide whether to keep interest rates between 3.75% and 4%. In September it already raised them by 25 basis points. The backdrop is shaped by inflation, with CPI at 3.7% in September and PCE still above 3%, although markets do not price in another hike and point to December as the key date. The meeting coincides with Microsoft and Alphabet earnings and with oil above $100.
